Llama Gets Hero's Welcome At Cosley Zoo

WHEATON, IL — A young llama named Hero recently became the newest resident of Cosley Zoo.

At just 1.5 years old, Hero is just getting to know his new home, according to an update from Cosley Zoo. He has been described as "eager" and "curious," with habits that include a clear disdain for vegetables.

Before coming to Cosley Zoo, Hero called Namaste Llamas home. Namaste Llamas was also the farm from which Cosley Zoo previously adopted another llama named Franklin.

Hero and Franklin will be housed near Buttercup, a Nubian goat that was born at Cosley Zoo in 2020.
